It is absolutely no bother. I am always glad to share the knowledge I have accumulated in order that others not have to go through the long trial and error process Me and my children had to go through. Any big blocks of time I use to focus on my research and writing on this subject. I will show it to be the missing link to the degenerative diseases.

My expertise and research has focussed on the health aspects of mold. I am not up on the latest on the remediation aspects. But, I will relate what I know and what I experienced as I made attempts at remediation to save my own possessions about four years ago.

It is important to keep in mind that there are several arenas when dealing with killing mold. There is the mold spores themselves and also the mycotoxins they produce. Even when the mold spores are dead they can still be harmful as a particulate in your breathing environment. They need to be captured out of your breathing environment by use of air cleaners and vacuums which use Hepa filters.

The mycotoxins seem to be very resistant to being killed. They are hard to launder out of clothes and bedding. Their content in dust from a home with a mold problem can cause rashes when the dust lands on your skin. You can help rid them from your body using detoxification methods. Chlorophyl and chlorophyllin products are beneficial to ridding the mold spores and the mycotoxins from your body.

Most government related sources like tell you to use warm water and soap to clean non-pourous possessions, and a solution of 10 parts water and 1 part bleach to clean all possessions which will tolerate bleach.

I attended a mols seminar in Portland last January. One of the building experts brought several problems of using bleach. One was that you need to leave it on the possession or building material for awhile to give it time to really kill the mold. The other problem with adding water to dilute the bleach. Water and moisture is what makes mold grow. So, if you add water to the possession or building material you have exasperated the problem in some ways.

The most effective use of bleach, if you are going to use it, is to use it full strength, and only on materials which will tollerate full strength bleach. **** But, this will burn your lungs and your eyes. **** It is very important to use a respirator designed for bleach and mold spores. They can be found at home improvement stores. I got mine at Home Depot. You also need eye protection to prevent the vapors from getting to your eyes. Do it outside or vent the vapors outside with fans, etc.

I use straight bleach on wood and let it soak in. In the end I ended up throwing out all upholstered and wood furniture. But, Now I think I may have been able to save some of them using ozone machines or ultra-violet.

Ozone machines can be used to kill off any of the mold the ozone can penetrate to. When put on the high 'kill-zone' setting for 72 hours it will kill the mold and anything or anyone that is in the building. You can not be in the building during that period. Then the building needs to be aired out afterwards. Also the dead spores need to be captured out of the breathing environment using hepa filtered air cleaners and vacuums.

Anyone wishing free access to my research or has individual questions need only email me. I am taking the winter off work to get more written up to help paint the extensive picture of how toxic molds in our environment affect the degeneration of the human body. The role it plays in family disruption, domestic abuse and domestic violence is the next section I plan to work on. The mycotoxins damage the brain and nervous system contributing to ADD, ADHD, anxiety and heightened irritability.

I know I didn't adequately answer your question. I have had other means of killing the mold presented to me. But, I have not been able to study them enough to feel confident in giving them out yet. I have been focussing on the health aspects the last few years in order to help others regain their good health, as I did.

well this is a very old thread. best to post a new post for this question.

but i would suggest stop drinking all canned sodas which are nothing but poison. also mountain dew has bromide in it which can cause health problems.
